Chapter 0002: The Pagoda

In summary, it is equivalent to adding twenty-four days to one's lifespan in a single day

The only great wish in life is to be immortal

The Medicine Master Buddha briefly shone brightly before dimming again, and then the radiance penetrated one petal of the lotus beneath him

The previous petal was bright and soft, while this petal is slightly luminous

The setting sun has already descended

Thus Come Sea, Great Vow Ship

He lowered his head to look at an ant by his feet

The size of the football field is covered with white jade, which is resilient yet not smooth underfoot

At this moment, he felt both disappointment and hatred towards money

Silent and soundless, as if one is in outer space

The size of the mat is such that it has nine petals, resembling a flower bud that has just bloomed in the dew, delicate and pure

The sound of clapping... ...

He now senses his body, with his heart pounding, each beat pumping blood surging through the veins, providing strength to the muscles

The dark time wheel tower began to brighten, becoming increasingly luminous

Fresh air is inhaled into the alveoli, merges with the blood, and then transforms into refined energy that circulates through the meridians

From this point onward, the self is the essence of the law, and the essence of the law is the self

In his previous life, he worked his way from being an orphan to attending a prestigious university, and then from a salesperson to founding his own company. Along the way, he faced numerous setbacks and hardships, with his life hanging by a thread on several occasions as he teetered on the brink of bankruptcy

After completing ten laps, he returned to a state of inner focus

Nowadays, the benefactor uses great vows as a boat, unties the ropes and sets sail, surely able to reach the other shore, South! No! A! Mi! Tuo! Fo!

After he learned, he couldn't help but laugh and ask: "Master, if I do not donate money for incense, it is difficult to attain enlightenment; if I donate money for incense, can I then attain enlightenment?"

This quiet and warm little valley belongs entirely to oneself, relying heavily on the profound legacy of Yuan Zhi

This master of emptiness is indeed a highly accomplished monk, not someone who has been packaged or hyped up.

He stood on the small training ground, shaking his head, his mind once again retreating into the void of his consciousness, gazing at the dark iron tower on the left palm of the Medicine Master Buddha

He usually does not worship the Buddha statues, believing that the Buddha is too busy to pay attention to him, and that one must rely on oneself.

He inexplicably knew that this tower was called the Tower of Prajna Time Wheel

This monk, with an unattractive appearance and a robe that had faded to a pale color, entered his villa, took a glance at him, shook his head, uttered only two words, "difficult," and then turned to leave

This is the gap in qualifications, a dimensionality reduction strike

It was only after he was afflicted with a terminal illness that he realized what is truly precious and important

These subtle adjustments do not affect the boxing stance, yet they enhance its effectiveness several times over

The tactile sensation is authentic, without any distinction

Convey to him the method of handprints and reciting scriptures

He smoothly performed the thirty-six movements of the Xiao Luohan Fist and shook his head

Thus, with increased diligence in recitation, the body becomes increasingly light. After three days, one reaches a state of forgetting both self and the external world, becoming completely selfless, and experiencing a spiritual wandering through heaven and earth

The lotus is as delicate as a flower in the morning, with a petal next to the brightest one also faintly glowing.

The empty monk bowed to him in a gesture of respect: "By donating all your wealth and possessions, you cultivate a sense of detachment from this tumultuous world, ultimately freeing yourself from the bonds of attachment."

The most terrifying thing in the world is not the inability to stand out and hold one's head high, but rather death

It is not just the spirit that enters, but the entire body that enters the tower.

As the "Medicine Master Sutra" reaches its final line, a drop of dew falls from above the void

As his condition worsened, the painkillers became ineffective, and his suffering increased day by day. Gritting his teeth, he made a desperate decision to donate all his assets to the temple where Master Kong resided.

Although the source of light is not visible, the interior of the tower is as bright as day, revealing everything clearly

Thus, I could not help but perform the Little Luohan Fist

Although the fusion of the two souls sharpens the senses, enhances the speed of thought, and grants an exceptional memory, it also allows for multitasking.

He felt a slight stir in his mind

Thinking of this, he exited the void of his mind and arrived at a flat training ground by the lake, where he began to practice his boxing techniques.

As the second round began, he attempted to make subtle adjustments, either by raising his punches slightly, lowering his stance a bit, or reducing the angle of his turns by one or two degrees

He was half-convinced and discovered that silently reciting the "Medicine Buddha Sutra" while making mudras in front of the Medicine Buddha could indeed alleviate pain

Three inches from the big toe of the left foot, it is exactly the same as before entering the pagoda.

His success is not merely a stroke of luck; his determination far surpasses that of ordinary individuals. He first sought out two consulting firms to thoroughly investigate the background of this master of emptiness.

However, in such a world, merely having a sufficient lifespan is not enough to achieve immortality; one must also possess formidable martial skills, becoming a top expert, or even the number one expert in the world

A drop of sweet dew represents a day's lifespan, and reciting a sutra once can yield a drop of sweet dew

He soon realized his own strangeness

Having said that, he left

As he walked, his mind gradually converged and coalesced within, entering the boundless silence and void of his consciousness

The inner walls are adorned with numerous statues of Buddha, each remarkably lifelike, with countless Buddhas gazing upon him, bestowing their blessings upon him

Beside the ant, there is a drop of water, which is caused by a small fish leaping and splashing the lake water, and the water stains are gradually spreading

Above the lotus sits a translucent Medicine Buddha in a meditative posture

But at this moment, when the doctor had no solution, he found himself in the depths of despair, and he could only temporarily cling to the Buddha's leg.

Bang bang bang bang

Two days later, Master Liao Kong reappeared

This body is inherently frail, and having lost its martial abilities, it requires gradual recuperation; even carrying two loads of water is already the limit.

His heart has also become exceptionally tranquil

He practiced once, and his body merely felt a slight warmth, as if he had walked around the lake ten times

In these more than seventy days, I have been tirelessly devoted to the practice of the Little Luohan Fist, as if I were in a dream

The Medicine Buddha was softly reciting the Medicine Buddha Sutra, with the faint sounds of the Sanskrit chanting lingering in the void of his mind, bringing him tranquility and peace of spirit

The lifespan of seventy-two days has made this petal somewhat luminous, although it falls far short of the brightest one, it is sufficient for him

Thinking of this, he smiled and softly called out, a feeling both familiar and unfamiliar, thus he set down his bowl and chopsticks and leisurely strolled to the lakeside

If life could start over, I would not seek wealth and glory, nor crave exquisite delicacies, nor desire to be spirited and ambitious, nor rely on others. I would only wish for immortality

He can conclude that during the more than seventy days he has spent inside the pagoda, time in the outside world has come to a standstill

The Little Luohan Fist is a foundational practice of the Jingang Temple, characterized by its simplicity and profound effectiveness. It can strengthen the internal organs, transform the physical constitution, and lay a solid foundation for cultivation.

Azure and pristine, like the sky at the break of dawn

Among the nine petals, only this one shines with brilliance

The second level of Xiao Luohan Quan, the heart becomes stronger, and the strength is doubled

The sounds that reach his ears now include the rustling of the gentle breeze passing through the treetops, the whispering over the green grass, the soft movement of the monk's robe, the gentle lapping of the lake water, the rhythmic splashing against the shore, and the crisp sound of fish flicking their tails.

Previously, the practitioner lacked the heart of detachment; even with great aspirations, it was akin to rowing with a tethered oar

He took advantage of the opportunity to seize it for himself

After one round, he comprehended the essence and intricacies of the Little Luohan Fist

He walked around the lake with joy, stepping on the thick, soft green grass, breathing in the fresh air, and feeling at ease.

The original master, in despair and driven to madness, similarly felt this despair

The four characters "long! live! not! die!" were spoken by him with gritted teeth, fierce and desperate.

"If the rope is not untied, no matter how desperately one rows, the boat cannot move; how then can one cross?"

He perceives all changes in his body that occur with the movement of his fists, observing with keen insight and illuminating the subtle and hidden details

What is the greatest wish of the benefactor at present

However, this body possesses very poor qualifications

Other disciples of the Jingang Temple practiced once, the heat rising like a steamer, as if they had run a hundred laps around the lake

The fusion of two souls into one possesses various wonders, among which the heightened sensitivity of the five senses, and even the sixth sense, is one of the remarkable phenomena

Sigh

It is one's own hope

The lake water is clear, and the bottom of the lake is distinctly visible

However, this Little Luohan Fist is also a remarkable skill that requires exceptional talent

The world is so beautiful, how enjoyable it is to be alive

He gradually regained clarity from his daze

Law Void

After reciting the "Medicine Master Sutra" once, another drop of sweet dew fell, and the Medicine Master Buddha shone brightly, illuminating another petal.

Simply cast aside all grievances and attempt to seize a glimmer of opportunity, much like a drowning person clinging to a straw

In just a few days, he experienced disbelief, resentment, anger, struggle, and despair, ultimately leading to endless regret

Although it is not the original world, lifespan can be infinite

The previous petal has already been filled and can no longer absorb, signifying the attainment of a lifespan of ten years

He was in high spirits, preparing to step into the third level when suddenly everything went dark, and he found himself back at the lakeside.

yet it cannot change the innate qualities of this body

At the moment of striking, one must focus on multiple aspects simultaneously

Gift him a palm-sized statue of the Medicine Buddha and a copy of the "Medicine Sutra"

This feeling of having everything under control, as if holding a precious pearl in hand, is precisely what he has been striving for. He never expected to achieve it within the Tower of the Wheel of Wisdom!

The body is gradually becoming stronger

This is a nine-story tower, with an empty space in the middle

He averted his gaze and looked down at himself, touching his body

The fist strikes with the sound of a bowstring, the sound of breaking through the air is sharp, and with each heartbeat, an astonishing power bursts forth

Seven days ago, the venerable old monk Yuan Zhi passed away peacefully. In her overwhelming grief, the eighteen-year-old original owner forcefully practiced martial arts, leading to a tragic demise due to a deviation in her training.

The emerald green water plants sway gracefully like willowy branches in the wind, while silver little fish dart swiftly in and out among the aquatic vegetation, lively and carefree

The scents he now perceives include sixteen types of floral fragrances, thirty-two types of medicinal aromas, the smell of manure, fresh moisture, and the faint scent of green grass. Even when these various odors are blended together, he can still distinguish each one individually

What is even more marvelous is that at this moment, an invisible force permeates the tower, allowing him to feel neither hunger nor fatigue, enabling him to practice the Little Arhat Fist over and over again

The food in the stomach is breaking down into subtle energies, circulating through the five internal organs and six hollow organs

Reciting the Medicine Buddha Sutra takes half an hour

The lifespan of this frail body has finally reached ten years and one day

... ...

This means that he will never grow old and die, as long as he does not die an untimely death, he can achieve immortality

The first level of the Little Luohan Fist, the power is transmitted through each segment.

Had I known life would be so short, why did I not enjoy it properly? Why was I solely focused on making money, blinded by wealth

The size is no different from that of a real person, the appearance is indistinguishable from his, with the eyelids slightly lowered, exuding a dignified and noble presence

In the serene and deep blue void, a pure and flawless moon-white lotus flower quietly floats

In the right hand, a small tower is held, the iron tower stands a palm's height, pitch black as ink, without a trace of luster

On the evening three days later, he took a stroll by the lake after finishing his meal

Others have broad and flat highways for their meridians, while he has narrow and muddy paths like goat trails. His soul is like a horse pulling a cart; no matter how strong the horse is, it cannot move quickly on a broken road

There is still a frail body

In the next moment, he had already arrived in a spacious and bright area

Although his body is weak, it is full of vitality, and he can clearly sense that his health is gradually improving

In the left hand, a willow branch is held, as green as emerald

A wisp of light gently floated out from the petals, landing on the time wheel tower

The heart lake is completely calm, as if emotions have been drained away, leaving only reason to exist, constantly analyzing itself

A tranquil and secluded valley, fresh air, and bright sunshine

A smile is always present on the face

The joints of the body crackle like firecrackers, with every joint in the body making a sound.

At this time, a friend introduced a high monk

When I finally achieved financial freedom and planned to enjoy life, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a terminal illness, with only one month left to live

No amount of money can save one's life, yet it is because of this that one's anxiety and distress ultimately lead to this terminal illness

In the deep blue and tranquil void, the sound of the sacred chant faintly drifts

When Youyou came to her senses, she had already arrived in this world, reincarnated into the body of Monk Fakong.

Again and again, he has no sense of time here, completely immersed in the martial arts and the strange transformations of his body

Wash hands and face with the refreshing lake water, and take a leisurely stroll around the lake to aid digestion

But with a gentle clench of his fist, the surging power reminded him that this was not a dream

This is the achievement of the past three days

The world that his eyes now behold is as high-definition and vibrant as a photograph taken by the most advanced camera, with the sky's pure blue, the lively green of the grass, and the dazzling red of the flowers

The affairs of the world are always not as one wishes

I stayed in the tower for more than seventy days

His great aspiration has finally been fulfilled

Gently clenching the fist, every inch of skin, every pore, the expansion and contraction of each muscle and the capillaries within the muscles, the rotation of the joints, and the stretching and contracting of the tendons attached to the periosteum vividly flash through the mind

Before being afflicted with a terminal illness, his greatest wish was to earn money desperately, to stand out and live with dignity, so as not to have lived in vain.

Every punch and kick is precise and deliberate

Like dewdrops on a lotus leaf, bright as mercury, they lightly and swiftly plunge precisely into the Baihui acupoint of the Medicine Master Buddha

Twilight envelops the valley like mist, seemingly filtering out the noise, rendering the valley exceptionally tranquil
