Chapter 46 Wuzhishan

Qilin Pavilion, after noon, Zhou Tieyi was pulled out of bed by his brother.

Yawning, Zhou Tieyi, in his pajamas, picked up a cup of tea to quench his thirst, "Brother, good morning."

"morning?"

Zhou Tiege frowned. He knew that since his brother started learning martial arts, he had been training every morning. He felt strange that he did not see Zhou Tieyi on the training ground today.

Of course, he came to see Zhou Tieyi for two other reasons.

Ever since I went to visit Hu Wenlang.

That night, his brother showed him the secret of [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm].

This not only confirmed to Zhou Tiege that his brother had indeed been at sea for six days, but also that the number was just a modest statement made by his brother.

Now, even if Zhou Tieyi woke up the next day and said that he had condensed his inner energy in one day, Zhou Tiege would not find it strange.

Instead, he would laugh and say, "This is slower than your practice of [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm]. It seems that you definitely don't work hard on a daily basis."

With the confidence of his younger brother, Zhou Tiege no longer avoided the Buddha nature in his heart, but instead boldly meditated on it.

But after just one or two days, I don’t know if it was because I let go of the obsession in my heart, but instead I was in line with the true meaning of Buddhism and made rapid progress.

But the faster he progressed, the more he felt that Buddhism was like the ocean, deep and unfathomable.

So he came to Zhou Tieyi, wanting his brother to preach to him.

Zhou Tieyi took a sip of tea and woke up. "What's the matter?"

Zhou Tiege looked around. Although Zhou Tieyi was usually served by only his maid in Qilin Pavilion, Zhou Tieyi's comprehension of the [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] was of great importance. Until now, the two brothers had kept it a secret from Zhou's mother and planned to find a chance to tell her.

"There are two things. Let's talk about them in the quiet room."

Zhou Tieyi probably guessed that his elder brother came to ask him about the secret of [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm]. It just so happened that he had a new understanding of this Buddhism yesterday. He could be said to have truly escaped the cage of Buddhism and opened up a new world.

Arriving in the quiet room, Zhou Tiege's martial arts idiot nature took over and he asked first, "After you demonstrated the Dharma that day, I verified the Buddha nature that Shenxiu left in my heart, but I always felt that something was missing."

"What's the trick?"

Zhou Tieyi took a bite of the plum he brought in and asked.

Zhou Tiege also knew that there was no point in saying more, so he stretched out his hand and fell towards Zhou Tieyi.

Even if this palm did not stir up the internal energy and affect the environment, the energy and blood lingering in the palm alone formed a substantial pressure that could directly capture the mind of an ordinary martial artist.

Zhou Tieyi watched the palm slowly falling, and he could even vaguely see the blood and energy surging between the palm lines. This was the reason why it was able to oppress other people's minds.

After refining the Gang, the Qi and blood merged with the ancestral Qi. Zhou Tiege refined the purple thunder into Gang, imitating the momentum of the Buddha's palm falling in the Buddhist picture, which naturally could suppress the mind.

Zhou Tieyi extended his left hand to meet the attack. The moment he extended his palm, Zhou Tiege felt that the heaven and earth between the two of them were redivided. Outside this small world, the ancestral qi of heaven and earth was obscure and difficult to understand. Within this world, the Buddhist Dharma was boundless and profound.

That's what it feels like!

Zhou Tiege looked excited. Purple arcs of lightning leaped out from his palms, and he wanted to use them as a boundary to separate the inside and the outside.

"wrong!"

Zhou Tieyi opened Zhou Tiege's palm without any tricks and broke up the lightning arc.

"How is it wrong?" "It's not about forcibly dividing inside and outside with brute force. The boundary formed in that way is the wrong path."

"Instead, I am a world of my own, using my small world to distinguish the great world of the universe. The boundary is there, and it is not an obstacle, but a lever to pry the power of heaven and earth. So it seems that a boundary is formed to distinguish between inside and outside, but in fact, I am using the power of all living beings in heaven and earth in my palm to suppress all evil demons and heretics."

"I have my own little world?"

Zhou Tiege gave a bitter smile. This was not easy to do.

With his qualifications, Zhou Tieyi's demonstration, and the Taoist's first method of opening up, Purple Sky Thunder, it would not be difficult for him to comprehend it if given seven or eight years, or even three to five years. However, the fight now lasted less than two months.

"Brother, don't you know the Five Elements Army Formation? Let's see how this palm of mine works?"

Zhou Tieyi waved his palm again, and this time it was no longer a simple division of the inner and outer world. Each finger had a specific image, either blue, red, yellow, white, or black, with the five colors rotating. Between the palm lines, the blood and qi turned into the mysterious ups and downs of the earth veins. It was no longer like the Buddhist concept of the four elements being empty and elusive, but real and tangible, like mountains and hills.

Zhou Tiege slapped forward, and five different forces weakened his palm strength, but it was not enough.

He looked in the direction of Zhou Tieyi's palm, and felt that Zhou Tieyi was connected to the earth. Constant power was being added to his five-colored palm, like a five-colored mountain collapsing.

The palms of both parties fell apart as soon as they touched.

Zhou Tiege pondered for a moment before asking, "It seems like a whole new world has been created?"

Zhou Tieyi smiled and nodded, "Although Xiu'er showed us the true meaning of Buddhism, it was only a small part of what he understood. If he doesn't create a new world, the Buddhist kingdom in his palm will seem cramped."

"My palm uses the five elements to rotate, with the earth veins as the pivot. Seeing the palm is like seeing a mountain. I thought of a good name, called [Five Finger Mountain]."

Wuzhi Mountain...

Zhou Tiege carefully pondered the essence of the palm.

Buddhism emphasizes emptiness, and all phenomena are like dreams and bubbles.

Therefore, many things in Buddhism are difficult to comprehend. Those who understand them can become Buddhas overnight by pinching flowers and laughing, just like his younger brother Zhou Tieyi. This is called sudden enlightenment.

Otherwise, you can only be like Shenxiu, who meditated day and night and practiced hard for twenty years before achieving success. This is called gradual enlightenment.

However, even if it is gradual enlightenment, one still needs what Buddhism calls wisdom, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve.

But Zhou Tieyi has just transformed all the pessimistic Buddhist teachings. They are no longer difficult to touch, but real and tangible, just like the transformation from Buddhist teachings to Taoist techniques.

For myself, it has indeed reduced the difficulty by more than one level. Even if I haven't gotten started, I can use this secret technique as a foundation to cleanse my inner Buddha nature and escape from my original cage.

During the competition, Shenxiu could no longer use Buddha nature to shake his mind because his foundation had changed.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Tiege sighed and said, "This secret technique already has the aura of what Taoists call enlightenment."

Then he looked up in confusion, "But isn't the name of this [Five Finger Mountain] too shallow?"

This name sounds like some kind of basic martial arts, similar to the [Five Tigers Guillotine Sabre], and it is really not worthy of the exquisiteness that can escape from the cage of first-grade Buddhism.

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, "My ambition is not high. If I can really master this [Five Finger Mountain] in the future, it will be enough for me to travel the world."

"By the way, brother, you said you wanted to ask me two things, what's the second one?"

Zhou Tiege said, "The second thing is not a big deal either. Your official appointment document has been issued, but the appointment to the God-Slaying Division was a decision made before. With your current talent, you are making rapid progress every day. It would be a waste of time to go to the God-Slaying Division."

"No." Zhou Tieyi interrupted, "Going to the God-Slaying Division is exactly what I want."
