From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

Chapter 50: The murderous knife uses the means to save lives, burning himself to preach, the body evidence is indestructible! (6400)

After receiving Xu Xing's invitation, Lu Fang walked straight to the reviewing platform, ignoring the gazes from all directions.

Although they both left the palace to survey the martial arts masters for the purpose of compiling the new "Wuzhilu", the methods used by this eunuch Lu in the southeast were much more ruthless than those of the fledgling Lu Bing.

During one of his "Southern Tours", hundreds of southeastern boxers died at his hands. Because of this, the southeastern martial arts community was extremely resentful of the imperial court, allowing Zhu Polong to interfere and instigate some southeastern boxers to rebel.

Now, Lu Fang, who seems to have "rejuvenated", has the ambition to take on the martial arts world in the southeast decades ago. His aura is even more powerful than before!

As Lu Fang got closer, Lu Zhu's body unconsciously tensed up, as if the person slowly approaching was not an old man, but some inhuman being.

Only Qi Jiguang remained calm, though he felt extremely embarrassed.

In his heart, he naturally didn't want to communicate with such a eunuch, but due to his official status, he had to lower his head and said in a muffled voice:

"I am Qi Jiguang, the general of Taizhou. I am honored to meet you, Eunuch Lu."

Lu Fang just raised his hand and stopped him:
"Since Xu Dasheng wants to preach, let's follow the rules of the martial arts world and not worry about official status."

At this moment, Lu Fang indeed looked more like a martial artist than the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department. His words, actions, and facial expressions all revealed a sense of decisiveness and efficiency.

Thinking of the feeling this man had just had, that his days were numbered and his time was running out, Qi Jiguang was immediately startled.

——This old guy, he wouldn’t really ignore everything and come here just to exchange his life with Tafa, right?

After greeting Qi Jiguang, Lu Fang looked at Xu Xing deeply and said in a deep voice:

"Xu Dasheng is about to take his last step, but he is still willing to open the door of convenience for all living beings, teaching everyone without distinction. Such magnanimity and broad-mindedness are worthy of the title of 'light-burning'."

Dipamkara is the chief of the thousand Buddhas who were born in the past auspicious kalpa.

Ninety-one kalpas ago, he gave a prophecy to Sakyamuni's previous life, saying: "Good man, in the future life, you will become a Buddha and be named Sakyamuni."

The fact that Lu Fang was willing to give Xu Xing the title of "Burning Lamp" shows his respect for Xu Xing's preaching.

After complimenting him, Lu Fang changed the subject and said:

"However, the Great Sage's body has not yet recovered from his injuries, and he insists on preaching to sentient beings. Does he really want to give up his physical body and achieve Nirvana?"

Lu Fang's tone changed, and the threat was evident in his words. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Qi Jiguang and Lu Zhu's faces became serious at the same time.

Xu Xingze seemed to be completely unaware of the tense atmosphere. He waved his hand with a smile on his face, saying nonchalantly:

"Eunuch Lu thinks too highly of me. I am not Randeng, nor am I Tathagata. I am just lucky enough to have walked a little further on this path, that's all.

The road to becoming an immortal was paved by our predecessors with great difficulty. Since I have inherited their unique skills, how can I keep them to myself? "

When Xu Xing said this, his voice was calm and without any fluctuations, as if he was talking about something that was natural and did not need to be explained.

After he finished speaking, he paused, smiled brightly, and said sincerely:

"Even if we put all this aside, I still think that having one more Grandmaster in this world is much more interesting than having one less Grandmaster, even if he wants to be my enemy."

That smile was so warm, like a blazing fire, radiating endless heat in all directions.

Putting aside all the so-called gifts from predecessors and inheritance from the master, the last sentence is the only one that truly comes from Xu Xing's heart.

He looked at Lu Fang, his smile faded, and he shook his head regretfully.

"Once the blood gate is activated, there is nothing I can do to save it. I hope today's preaching can inspire you as well."

The young man's eyes were clear and bright, and his gentle gaze seemed to melt into a warm current, flowing into Lu Fang's eyes.

That was the purest kindness that Lu Fang had ever felt.

——Even though a life-and-death battle had been agreed upon, Xu Xing really felt regret for his own life.

Lu Fang slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, his thoughts were in a mess, it felt like a cluster of flames were jumping hotly in his brain, and his cochlea was buzzing.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"Xu Dasheng..."

In the end, even Lu Fang himself didn't know what to say. He just clasped his fists heavily towards Xu Xing, stood beside him, and truly put on a protective posture.

Xu Xing ignored Lu Fang's actions. He just turned his wheelchair and faced the hundreds of boxers below the stage. He twisted his thumb and middle finger together, and relaxed the rest of his fingers naturally.

This hand seal is called the Dharma Seal, which was made when Sakyamuni first preached the Dharma in Deer Park. It symbolizes the Buddha's preaching, hence the name.

Xu Xing formed a hand seal, and the space between his brows sparkled like a huge sun, illuminating his whole body. Most of the people below the stage were highly sensitive martial artists, and they felt that the Great Sage's body was like colored glaze crystal, pure and flawless, shining in all directions.

In this dim light, the warriors around felt their hearts become more alert and their thoughts more lively, and their understanding of martial arts also deepened by more than 10%.

Xu Xing’s first lecture was about how to cultivate to the four ultimate realms.

During the more than two months in Southern Shaolin, Xu Xing and Li Shizhen cracked the alchemy secrets of the "Sanfeng Blood Sutra", studied Bodhidharma's remains day and night, read through the Southern Shaolin's Sutra Library, and used the help of mirrors to test all these insights and truly put them into practice.

In this way, his boxing skills and martial arts training have truly reached the top of the world, and he can deduce a method to achieve the "ultimate state" without being struck by lightning.

However, the verbal teaching is only for the convenience of those boxers who have not yet become great masters.

The great boxers who were proficient in many kinds of boxing could see most of Xu Xing's path of body training just by looking at his body without listening to what he said.

The only thing they need to pay attention to is the various precautions on this path of cultivation, such as when is the best time to practice, at what level to stop practicing, and what medicine to use to assist...

However, what the three masters Qi Jiguang, Lu Zhu and Lu Fang saw was different from that of the great boxers.

They knew very well that if they wanted to achieve great success in the art of physical training, they could not only focus on physical training itself, but also needed the help of the spirit of boxing to fully develop the most subtle and sensitive secrets of the human body.

In their eyes, many different scenes were emerging from Xu Xing's body.

There are unruly rocs flapping their wings and rising up, making the sky clear and bright; there are violent apes moving mountains and hills, opening up a bright and open road.

There is the Buddha sitting on a lotus pedestal, turning the Dharma Wheel in his hand, preaching to the world; there is the Taoist who keeps his books in his hands, writing books with his blood; there is the dragon emerging from the abyss, stirring up the wind and waves, stirring up the four seas; there is the Thunder God beating the drum, the sky is dark, and the lightning snakes dance wildly in the sky...

This is exactly what Xu Xing has accumulated over the past twenty years.

Traveling all over the country, exchanging many free-hand fighting techniques with various martial artists, the "Hurry Blue Sky" deduced from the Dapeng Mingwang Fist, the Mountain Moving Fist from the White-robed Bandit, the Sanfeng Blood Sutra, the remains of Bodhidharma, the Buddhist Wheel Fist, the Taoist breathing method, the Dragon Snake Transformation, the Great Thunder Heaven Fist...

Xu Xing's move was to show all he had learned in his life through the spirit of boxing, leaving it to the masters to take as they pleased. As long as they could bear it, it would be fine even if they took it all.

For the first time, Qi Jiguang realized so intuitively why this young man could master such superb boxing skills at such a young age.

Each of these boxing variations requires great boxers to spend countless efforts, but they may not be able to master them.

But he alone can know so much!

How can one not sigh in admiration at such talent?
The boxers below, listening to the body-building methods taught by Xu Xing, became fascinated and intoxicated. Some of them even set up their boxing stances and started practicing boxing on the training ground.

They did not notice that Xu Xing's face was becoming paler and paler, but his eyes were still as bright as ever, as if he had burned his life to keep this ever-burning light.

This method of preaching "from heart to heart" is close to the means in Buddhist cases that directly point to the human heart and realize the nature and become a Buddha.

The Grandmaster’s boxing style can certainly influence people’s hearts, but that also depends on the scope, number of people, and duration.

To be able to convey one's thoughts to hundreds of people at the same time and demonstrate various martial arts continuously like Xu Xing did is simply a fantasy.

Among the three, only Lu Fang, who had already reached the realm of emptiness and whose life was hanging by a thread, could feel how Xu Xing accomplished all this.

He is truly like a lamp, imparting all he has learned in his life at the cost of burning himself out!
Why is this happening?!

Lu Fang couldn't understand it at all.

At Xu Xing's current age, he clearly still has plenty of time to pursue martial arts, so why does he use such a self-destructive method to teach martial arts?
Is it possible that his injuries are so serious that he cannot continue?
Although he didn't understand Xu Xing's intention, Lu Fang couldn't help but admire his magnanimity of being a raft for the world's warriors and carrying all living beings across the sea of ​​suffering.

In fact, Xu Xing’s idea is very simple.

He wanted to shatter his own body in one fell swoop, then exhaust his mind and achieve a complete nirvana from both the physical and spiritual perspectives!

Now, Xu Xing has entered a state of oblivion of himself and the world, and feels that every piece of flesh and every bone seem to have become an independent individual.

The blood flowed like a stream, downstream along the river formed by muscles and tendons, growing bigger and bigger in the blood channels of large and small joints, gradually becoming a huge torrent, rushing over various parts and organs of the body.

There are countless tiny spots of light in the blood, just like the stars scattered across the Milky Way, hidden deep in the human body, forming a magnificent star map.

However, these little starlights are gradually dimming and even disappearing.

It was not until this moment that Xu Xing suddenly realized that his life had reached the point of being on the verge of death.

He felt as if he was split into two by some force, one side of him was walking slowly and talking about the way to cultivate the body, while the other side was going deep into the body and observing the subtle changes in the body.

Xu Xing knew that this was the legendary ability of "inner vision" that could only be possessed after one had "seeing the gods without being destroyed". These stars were the acupoints mentioned in the alchemy books.

After all, Xu Xing is not yet a true human immortal, so when his self-consciousness awakens, he can no longer maintain this state of "inner vision".

Just as he was about to exit "inner vision", Xu Xing concentrated his mind and sensed the brightest star among the stars in the sky.

The point where the human body and spirit are most closely connected is the eyebrow-center acupoint, also known as the forehead acupoint, which Xu Xing had practiced before he became a master. It can mobilize blood and bone marrow throughout the body.

Xu Xing saw more clearly that in this star, there was a stone mirror covered with cracks floating up and down.

In this state, Xu Xing could clearly feel how majestic and ancient the desolate atmosphere coming from the stone mirror was. Even though it was so dilapidated and only a glimpse of it was possible, its existence itself was enough to make Xu Xing look up.

——Where did this thing come from?
However, Xu Xing was a great master with a strong mind after all, and he recovered from the shock in just a moment.

No matter what the stone mirror is, Xu Xing believes that he will have time to explore it in the future. The most important thing now is to seize the opportunity, smash the old body, rebuild a new body, and achieve an indestructible physique!
After breaking free, Xu Xing concentrated his mind like a needle in the last moments, and through the vague connection between himself and the stone mirror, he fiercely stabbed at the star.

Stimulated by Xu Xing, the stone mirror only trembled slightly, causing the star to suddenly emit bright flames.

The surrounding galaxy shook and the stars trembled.

It was as if murderous intent came from the sky and the stars were shifting!

The human body is a small world, and a slight change can affect the entire body. As the sky shakes, the whole world seems to come to an end suddenly, and an extremely strong destructive force erupts.

This force was so strong and fierce, so irresistible, it rushed out from the inside out, as if to completely shatter Xu Xing's body and spirit.

Outside, a burst of crackling firecrackers suddenly sounded from Xu Xing's body, one inch at a time, continuously.

All the boxers suddenly woke up, realizing that the great sage had finished his sermon and was about to use his own body as an example to demonstrate the steps to achieve an indestructible body.

His bones were not crushed from the outside, but exploded from the inside out due to the vibration of his marrow.

Also affected by bone fractures are the muscles and skin attached to the joints, as well as various organs protected by the skeleton.

It seemed that Xu Xing was about to explode all of a sudden. There was not an inch of good tendons, bones, skin, or flesh on his body.

If it were someone else, even if he was a master, he would be dead at this moment.

But Xu Xing was able to grasp the opportunity when the body was about to break but not shattered, and he encouraged his lungs, shook his whole body, visualized the thunder that had struck his body, and used all his strength to display the "Thunder Sound" method of Da Lei Tian, ​​penetrating the strength into his marrow through the cracks in his bones.

For a moment, the sound of rumbling thunder resounded throughout the venue. The wheelchair under Xu Xing shook violently, and cracks gradually appeared, spreading across the entire wooden chair frame.

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

After countless thunders, a thick blood mist exploded around Xu Xing. The mist spread and enveloped him.

Everyone could not see the true appearance of it, they could only see the blood mist rising and condensing, like a red dragon circling in the sky.

There is not the slightest fishy smell in this blood, but instead there is a refreshing and elegant lotus fragrance which makes one feel extremely refreshed upon sniffing it.

The boxers below the stage, even though they felt sharp pains in their brains and some even had blood flowing from their seven orifices, were unwilling to look away, wanting to know what the result of this unprecedented physical training would be.

Is it a failure or a demise?
Xu Xing felt an unprecedented burning sensation coming from his bones. It seemed that his marrow had suddenly turned into a blazing flame in this shock, and it was about to completely burn Xu Xing's bones.

The liquid marrow that seeped out from the fine cracks on the skeleton gradually became stained with a jade-like color, as if it had been sublimated from mortal bones into immortal bones.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the muffled thunder gradually became quieter and silent. The thick blood mist condensed into a small tornado like a dragon sucking water, and was sucked into Xu Xing's body.

In the sight of the three great masters and hundreds of boxers, a figure appeared sitting on the reviewing platform.

Xu Xing's figure remained the same as usual, as if there was no change at all, but he faintly revealed a perfect bright light, just like the light on the four sides of the Buddha's body, each one was ten feet long, illuminating all without hindrance.

This is not a real light, but a kind of telepathy, just like the halo of nature in the portraits of Buddhas, which is the proof of achieving the fruit position.

——Done?
——For hundreds of years, no one had ever achieved the "indestructible" body, but now it has actually been achieved?!
This question lingers in the minds of many boxers, even the three closest grandmasters are no exception.

They could feel the surging vitality emanating from Xu Xing's body. Even if he was just sitting there quietly, the sound of blood flowing through his body was like the Yangtze River, rushing thousands of miles without stopping.

However, such a powerful body is like an empty shell, without any human consciousness.

Lu Fang, who had seen Bodhidharma's remains, could not help but compare the two.

Although his stance was opposite to Xu Xing's, Lu Fang still couldn't help but feel sorry for this great saint who was determined to spread the Dharma, and even felt a sense of indescribable loss.

Even with such extraordinary talent as him, would he eventually die on this road and be completely annihilated?
At this moment, there was another slight but solid explosion sound behind Xu Xing's head, like the thunder of the Waking of Insects. With a loud tremor, dragons and snakes rose up, and all things revived!
After this sound, the speed and momentum of the blood circulation in Xu Xing's body, the faint sound of the tide, suddenly became a huge wave!
He slowly opened his eyes, which were like glass, clear and bright, and also like lotus, spotless, with an inexplicable power that moved people's hearts.

Having achieved an indestructible body, Xu Xing can no longer be described as a "half-immortal", but has truly embarked on the path to immortality. He is qualified to knock on the immortal gate and strive for the achievement of enlightenment and ascension to heaven!

The spirit is different, the flesh and blood are different, and even the essence of life is completely different. Once this step is taken, you will no longer be ordinary.

There was no need to see with their eyes, the three great masters could sense through mental perception that Xu Xing had broken through the most dangerous level. They were all so excited that they could hardly control themselves.

Although those who can see the gods are indestructible and have not yet completely attained the status of immortals and can stay in the world for a long time, they can already enjoy a lifespan of 150 days, watching the changes in the world like passing clouds, and towering above all other living beings.

What does a hundred and fifty years of life mean? You have to know that it has been less than two hundred years since Taizu established the Ming Dynasty!
"You, really succeeded?"

Qi Jiguang was so excited that even his voice trembled slightly.

Xu Xing slowly stood up and nodded:

"It's done. My muscles and bones have been strengthened. But I still need some time to recuperate before I can exert my peak combat power."

Although he had completed the refining of his tendons and bones and entered the indestructible realm, Xu Xing's bones were newly cast after all. If he wanted to completely match the "Empty Immortal Bag", it would naturally take some time to adjust.

However, no one present cared about what he said later. All their attention was focused on the first two words of Xu Xing.

It’s done, it’s really done!
Seeing the gods without being destroyed is something that is rarely seen in a century. Someone has really achieved it!

Lu Zhu clasped his hands together, lowered his head, and said softly:
"You can turn a knife that kills people into a way to save lives, Brother Xu. Your boxing skills have really reached the level of Tathagata. Congratulations, congratulations."

Xu Xing raised his eyebrows and said:
"Xiao Lu, you have also made great progress. Congratulations, congratulations."

In Xu Xing's eyes, a faint circular light seemed to be glowing around Lu Zhu, indicating that he had reaped a great harvest.

Lu Fang took two steps forward, his expression complicated, and finally he just sighed and said:
"Great Sage Xu's methods are truly divine. I admire him."

As a grandmaster who has achieved the state of emptiness through fists, Lu Fang gained even more from the preaching just now than Lu Zhu. The word "emptiness" originally represents a state in which all things are reflected.

It is because of this that he can truly understand Xu Xing's terror.

Xu Xing understood the internal minister's insistence and said only one sentence:
"After you die, I will find someone to pass on your legacy."

Lu Fang's expression became serious and he clasped his fists heavily towards Xu Xing.

Xu Xing shook his robe, came to the reviewing platform, and found Qi Dazhu who was watching intently.

He smiled slightly and joked as always:

"Dazhu, I taught you all the boxing techniques that I was going to leave to you. Are you upset?"

Qi Dazhu shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Master, you have the boxing skills, and I also have my boxing skills. Your boxing skills have been spread out, and my boxing skills will also be spread out one day."

After witnessing a Dharma transmission that involved burning one's body, Qi Dazhu's eyes were filled with an inexplicable gleam, and his entire temperament became more and more steady, as heavy as the boundless earth.

As someone who had also learned Yue family free-hand fighting, read Sanfeng Blood Classics, and seen the remains of Bodhidharma, Qi Dazhu's insights and gains from this preaching could be said to be the best under the Grandmaster.

Xu Xing nodded with satisfaction. He twisted his waist and peeled off the Taoist-style dark green robe as if he was shedding skin.

When Xu Xing's body was just recast, although blood mist was all over his body, the green robe was still as smooth as new, and even had a faint fragrance.

This is exactly the characteristic of the indestructible state. There is an old saying in the martial arts world that an indestructible body is the "essence of human beings" on par with "natural talents" and "earthly treasures"!
Xu Xing shook his right hand and personally draped the clothes on Qi Dazhu's shoulders, laughing loudly, his hearty laughter shook the entire martial arts arena.

"Good! My Dharma has been passed on to all living beings, and the Tao has also remained in the world. Dazhu, you can put on this robe for now, and when you have your own clothes, throw it away."

Qi Dazhu didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand, tightened the coat that didn't fit him well, and nodded heavily.

Xu Xing smiled with satisfaction, patted his shoulder, and walked gracefully out of the martial arts arena, chanting as he walked:

"Raise the knife to kill, and use the tricks to kill. Raise it alone, and show your magical power, who can resist..."

After a few rises and falls, he disappeared outside the martial arts arena, leaving only his clear voice echoing in the air.

"With a strong heart and courage, I will kill the Buddha I see..."

The boxers looked at the back and listened to his chanting. They felt their hearts beating and blood boiling. There was an inexplicable sense of generosity emanating from them. They all had the same feeling in their hearts.

——Such a graceful figure, truly a goddess!

After Xu Xing's figure left, Qi Jiguang couldn't help but let out a long sigh. His expression was complicated, with joy and worry.

As a martial artist, Qi Jiguang would naturally be happy to see his friends reach the pinnacle of martial arts and create a new world for the people of the world.

But in addition to being a military man, Qi Jiguang was also a general in the Ming army and the commander-in-chief of Taizhou.

Qi Jiguang understood that with Xu Xing's character, since he had achieved the state of indestructibility, he would definitely do something as treasonous as assassinating the king and killing the emperor.

At that time, what position should he, the general of Taizhou, stand in and how should he deal with it?
Qi Jiguang couldn't help but imagine, if he were to face Xu Xing on the battlefield, how much would he have to pay to annihilate this Great Sage?
After just a brief thought, this overly cruel and tragic answer made Qi Jiguang unwilling to think about it any further.

He looked into the distance, smiled bitterly, and had only one thought in his mind.

——The world will be troubled again from now on.

But Qi Jiguang had to admit that in addition to worry, he also felt an indescribable, vague pleasure in his heart.

If the stepping method can really accomplish that, it is worth making public!
