Chapter 239

~8 min read 1,596 words

The Consciousness-Only Theory, which had only been introduced after reading the scriptures, had borne fruit!

The best news Liang Qu heard in the second half of the 6th month was this!

Counting the time, he broke through to Galloping Horse on the 29th, subdued the wild finless porpoise group led by Scarhead that day, and harvested the Tiger-Eating Man You and the Underworld Wood Root Buddha Carving.

It has been a full month until today!

Who is the old monk? A Perfected Form Jiang Zongshi!

Liang Qu witnessed how hard he was during the period of studying the scriptures, and he dared not imagine how long it would take for him to study it himself.

No wonder it is often said that if you don't enter Wolf Smoke, don't plant trees, and if you don't enter Hunting Tiger, don't raise trees.

Martial artists often compare the creation of martial arts and martial arts to planting trees.

Various scriptures and classics are the nutrients needed for planting trees, and the fruit borne by the trees is the complete martial arts and techniques.

The common saying is that if you don't reach Wolf Smoke, you don't need to think about creating any techniques or martial arts, which is "don't plant trees."

Even if a Wolf Smoke martial artist accidentally plants a tree, don't think about raising it. Only when you reach the Great Hunting Tiger martial artist realm are you qualified to cultivate it specially.

As for further down, just learn to pick the fruit.

Listen to advice and eat well.

Liang Qu has self-knowledge. He wants to run before learning to walk. Wanting to summarize techniques from scriptures is like a junior high school student wanting to skillfully use calculus without learning derivatives.

Not to mention the Consciousness-Only Theory, which he had only just been introduced to; whether he had the qualifications to contact it was still a question mark.

You can't do things that are too high and ambitious.

If he becomes a Perfected Form Jiang Zongshi or even a Martial Saint in the future, he will have plenty of time to read various scriptures.

"Did the Master wait for me specially tonight?"

"Yes."

The old monk stepped aside to make way. Liang Qu dusted off his body and hurriedly followed the old monk into the west wing.

Except for a bed, a bookshelf, and a long desk, there was almost nothing else in the room, simple and elegant.

On the left side of the long desk, a large number of manuscripts were neatly stacked, and an inkstone was placed on the right. The ink on the brush on the pen holder on the side had not yet dried, emitting a faint ink fragrance.

Two scrolls were spread out side by side on the desk. The paper on the top was slightly thicker and the color was slightly yellowed. It was the original manuscript of the "Consciousness-Only Theory" that Liang Qu brought back.

The one underneath was whiter, with the same content, and there were many check marks and annotations between the lines, which was clearly a copy made by the old monk to take notes.

The old monk came to the left side of the long desk, counted several sheets from the stacked manuscripts, and handed them to Liang Qu.

Liang Qu respectfully took the manuscript and scanned the cover.

"Ear Consciousness Method."

Related to ears?

Turning over the cover, Liang Qu looked at it carefully with guesses.

The beginning of the manuscript did not talk about the so-called Ear Consciousness Method. The old monk first summarized the general content of the "Consciousness-Only Theory" in his own words.

In the Consciousness-Only Method, the eight consciousnesses are the center. The old monk spoke concisely about the so-called eight consciousnesses.

"The first five consciousnesses are ear, eye, nose, tongue, and body; the sixth consciousness is consciousness; the seventh consciousness is potential consciousness; the eighth consciousness is the seed consciousness that is the foundation of everything."

The "Ear Consciousness Method" is the first consciousness of the eight consciousnesses summarized by the old monk after spending a month, and it is the simplest and most initial part of the entire "Consciousness-Only Theory."

"All phenomena have no self-nature, with my heart, knowing ten thousand phases..."

Under the golden oil lamp, Liang Qu sat cross-legged on the cushion and read it through, feeling confused about the content of the Ear Consciousness Method.

The "Consciousness-Only Theory" had already been summarized.

The "Ear Consciousness Method" was the old monk's third translation.

But even so, he still half-understood.

It seemed he understood, but it seemed he didn't.

Could it be that he has no wisdom?

Seeing Liang Qu's frowning, the old monk spoke to enlighten him.

"When the wind passes through the long forest, what sound do the withered leaves make?"

Liang Qu thought for a while.

"Rustle?"

"What sound do the green leaves make?"

"Uh... swish?"

"Hear the difference between life and death."

Hiss!

It was as if a flash of lightning flashed through Liang Qu's mind, clearing the clouds to see the blue sky.

Looking down at the "Ear Consciousness Method" in his hand again, the meaning between the lines became clear and thorough.

So that's it, so that's it.

The so-called ear consciousness is not simply practicing hearing to achieve the effect of hearing thousands of miles away.

What is the use of hearing further and more finely?

It's nothing more than lying on the corner of the wall more smoothly.

The sound made by green leaves and withered leaves is completely different. Ear consciousness can distinguish the difference between life and death!

Compared with the strength of simple hearing, ear consciousness is a technique for processing the depth information contained in sound!

Ten thousand things, hear and know them!

This is ear consciousness!

Worthy of being a generation of holy monks, the conception is so high.

By analogy, what about eye, nose, tongue, and body?

Holy monk is awesome!

Old monk is awesome!

Liang Qu sighed in his heart and got up holding the "Ear Consciousness Method."

"Does the Master have a copy? Can you allow me to take this method back for careful study?"

The old monk stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

It is true that the Ear Consciousness Method was researched by him, but the "Consciousness-Only Theory" was brought by Liang Qu.

A clever woman can't cook without rice. Without Liang Qu, I don't know how long the "Consciousness-Only Theory" would be dusty, so how can we talk about the "Ear Consciousness Method"?

The results are naturally shared.

Getting a strange method, Liang Qu was in a happy mood.

He walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, turned and asked.

"Master, can I saw off the lotus base under that Underworld Wood Root Buddha carving?"

Underworld wood can calm people's hearts, promote thinking, and enlighten wisdom.

Carved into a wooden pendant, a piece the size of an index finger, if a child wears it all year round, he will be smarter than other children.

It can also promote the enlightenment of martial artists.

Liang Qu uses Shen Chong to sleep every day, and puts the Buddha carving next to him. His thinking is obviously faster, and he is not so tired after finishing the dream training.

Good things can't be used by himself. It's not easy to divide the whole Buddha carving, so he hit the idea of the lotus base below.

It's just that the "Consciousness-Only Theory" is hidden in it. It goes without saying which holy monk the whole Buddha statue is carved into. It's not good to saw it off rashly, so he has to come and ask for the advice of professionals.

Hearing this, the old monk raised his eyebrows.

He was silent for a long time.

"What do you want to use it for?"

"Give it to someone."

"How many copies?"

Liang Qu counted slightly: "Thirty copies, one must be the size of a thumb."

Ten copies for the master, fourteen copies for Xu Yuelong, one for Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Kui in Chen Qingjiang's family, and one for the old monk.

Adding up to a total of 27 copies, he carries one with him, and the remaining two are put away, saying that they might be useful in the future.

"Bring the Buddha statue to me."

Liang Qu immediately moved the wooden Buddha statue that was as high as his thigh out of the room.

The old monk took the Buddha statue, looked at Liang Qu, shook his head slightly, then reached out and closed the lotus base, then opened it, and the lotus on the entire base actually fell off a petal like a flower blooming!

Liang Qu's pupils shrank. He dared to guarantee that except for a cover plate on the back, the whole statue was one piece!

How did he do it?

The old monk's control of strength is simply incredible. Just by exerting force through his palm, he completely cut off a lotus petal?

In a short while, thirty lotus flowers were removed from the lotus base one after another.

Although the entire Buddha carving base was a circle smaller, it maintained its original appearance!

The old monk stacked them neatly, handed them to Liang Qu, and said earnestly.

"You must not do that thing of wasting natural resources. If you need to use it in the future, come and find me."

Liang Qu was rarely embarrassed. The old monk's one-handed leaf-peeling method really opened his eyes.

"Master is right."
