Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1593 - 765: The Second Method

"Mr. Cheng spoke correctly. This method is the most direct and effective, but naturally, it is also the most difficult. Therefore, I have a second method here."

At this point, Master Huiming stood up, took a roll of yellowed scriptures from the bookshelf against the wall, and placed it in front of Fang Cheng.

"Secondly, I can impart to you a ’Great Brightness Meditation’ magic technique."

Master Huiming pointed to the scriptures on the table and explained:

"This Zen meditation method is said to originate from the Ancient Buddha of Lamp. It does not cultivate the divine skills of subduing demons but focuses on maintaining inner clarity and purity, removing one’s dust and resisting external demon disturbances."

"When cultivated to a profound level, the mind can transform into a Great Sun, illuminating inside and out, breaking all ignorance and false thoughts."

"Mr. Fang only needs to, during each meditation, operate this method and imagine himself as a sun, high in the sky, using Buddha Light to illuminate the earth day after day, thus subtly cleansing the karma and habitual tendencies accumulated in the consciousness seeds of the ancestors of Gufeng Temple."

"As the saying goes, water drops can pierce stone, and even stubborn karma and habitual tendencies can be gradually worn away until they are completely cleansed. Over time, not only can it dispel their knowledge barriers, but it can also make them bear your Wish Power and reassemble the Dharma Body."

The old monk looked at Fang Cheng, with a solemn tone and a hint of entrustment:

"When they truly awaken, the souls of these elder high monks will transform into the most devoted Guardian Buddha Soldiers in your Pure Land."

"And you, who possess the grace of rebirth, will be the World Honored One in the Pure Land. Wherever your mind goes, they will appear to obey your orders."

"By then, your Secret Realm might be considered a real Divine Country and Buddha Land."

After listening, Fang Cheng reached out to take the yellowed scriptures and solemnly thanked:

"Thank you, Zen Master, for guiding and dispelling doubts, and for imparting cultivation techniques."

Master Huiming nodded slightly and gently advised:

"This method focuses on improving the mind and should not be rushed during cultivation. When you return, you can choose a quiet room to try entering it. If you encounter obstacles during operation, you can come to Jingxin Residence to find me at any time. I will surely speak freely and help you to the best of my ability."

"I have noted this, elder."

Fang Cheng carefully stored the scriptures and bowed again.

Seated beside him, Cheng Jiashu observed and teased:

"Zen Master, you are biased. When I asked for advice from you back then, you didn’t take out any treasured scriptures."

Master Huiming chuckled silently, turning to him with a touch of concern in his eyes:

"Mr. Cheng, please don’t joke. I see that today you are refreshed, and the gloominess between your brows has dissipated greatly. I suppose the mental troubles mentioned earlier have found a solution?"

"Sort of."

Cheng Jiashu stretched lazily, leaned back on the chair, and said leisurely:

"Following Zen Master’s guidance on observing the mind, I’ve recently brought up and dealt with those old accounts, and now I sleep more peacefully each night."

Master Huiming smiled slightly upon hearing this, fingered the prayer beads, and casually recited:

"The body is the Bodhi tree, the mind is like a bright mirror stand; always diligently wipe it, do not let it gather dust. Congratulations, Mr. Cheng, on achieving enlightenment."

After conversing, Master Huiming turned his gaze to Fang Cheng, seeing his robust and extraordinary posture, and mused:

"Earlier in the courtyard, I saw Mr. Fang make a move with considerable strength, perfect and energetic. Could it be that Mr. Fang practices pure Martial Arts?"

Seeing that the other party had already seen through, Fang Cheng did not deliberately hide it and openly admitted:

"Zen Master has keen insight, I indeed practice Martial Arts as well."

"Indeed."

Master Huiming’s eyes brightened slightly as he stroked his white beard:

"As soon as Mr. Fang entered the door, I sensed your imposing vitality, distinct from ordinary practitioners of spiritual methods or superpowers, so I asked more clearly."

Speaking of this, the old monk raised his already lukewarm tea cup, with a somewhat sighing expression:

"Nowadays, with spiritual energy scarce and technology thriving, not only has the path of Martial Arts seen its heritage cut off and gradually declined, but even we, the Magic Lineage Cultivators who stay in seclusion, struggle to move forward."

"To achieve the level Mr. Fang has in the current era is truly rare, a miracle. May I know under which Grandmaster Mr. Fang apprenticed and how you embarked on this path?"

Fang Cheng smiled and answered calmly:

"It’s a matter of coincidence. I initially worked in a boxing club and was interested in the Kung Fu of various sects, pondering over them myself in my spare time."

"Later, I received an introduction to join the Martial Arts Research Association and had the fortune of apprenticing under Master Ma Jianguo of the Tai Chi Sect, learning some true skills by his side and thus knocking on the door of Martial Arts."

"Ma Jianguo?"

Master Huiming’s eyebrows raised, then he showed a reminiscent smile:

"I know him. More than twenty years ago, at an official event in East Capital, I once met Master Ma."

"He is an old man who is particularly persistent in traditional Martial Arts and has quite an interesting character. Who would have thought that after so many years, he would actually teach a disciple with such extraordinary talent like you. He truly has not wasted his learning and has achieved full fruition."

Fang Cheng, upon hearing this, humbly replied:

"Master Ma’s guidance is excellent; I am just lucky as a junior."

Master Huiming looked at him with radiant eyes and said with admiration:

"Mr. Fang, no need to be overly modest. Your current strength probably can be compared to that former chief of the Special Search Team."

Fang Cheng knew whom he was referring to but did not continue the conversation.

He turned his head to glance at the bamboo forest outside Jingxin Residence, hesitated a little, and then reminded:

"Zen Master, those people who forcibly entered the temple earlier seem to have malicious intents. If they dare come again to cause trouble, you can notify me anytime for assistance."

Having been guided so meticulously and received such a great favor, Fang Cheng naturally wanted to find an opportunity to return the kindness.

However, Master Huiming was composed, waving his hand:

"Thank you for your goodwill, Mr. Fang. If outside the mountain gate, I would naturally not boast."

"But as long as within this Gufeng Temple, relying on the thousand years of luck accumulated at the mountain gate and the blessing of Buddha Law, those few external rogues with hidden intentions cannot stir much trouble."

Seeing Master Huiming’s confidence, Fang Cheng did not insist further.

He reached into his pants pocket, pulled out a wallet, and took out a gold-embossed business card to pass over.

"Even so, having more helpers is always good. If Zen Master encounters any mundane matters inconvenient to handle in the future, you can contact me via the phone number on it. Although not boasting much, handling a few petty thieves should be manageable."

The business card was thoughtfully designed, printed with a few lines of simple fonts.

[Chenxing Import and Export Trade Company Senior Advisor: Fang Cheng]

Below was a series of landline and mobile phone numbers.

This was specially customized for him by Lin Chuqiao a while ago.

Now, as Chairman of the Illuminati, Fang Cheng always needed a business identity when out to facilitate social interactions and business affairs.

Feeling his sincerity, Master Huiming accepted the card with both hands, glanced at the title, and smiled as he tucked it into his sleeve.

"Your generous intention, Mr. Fang, I accept with gratitude."

The three continued to talk around the tea table about recent Martial World news and insights into Spiritual cultivation.

Their relationship thus deepened a bit.

Unnoticed, the sunlight outside gradually climbed onto the roof, streaming through the window lattice into the guest hall.

Fang Cheng looked at the scene outside and exchanged a glance with Cheng Jiashu.

Cheng Jiashu understood instantly, stood up laughing and said:

"Zen Master, it’s almost noon. We two secular people won’t continue to disturb your peaceful cultivation, farewell."

Master Huiming rose to his feet, joined his palms together, and invited:

"Two esteemed guests came from afar and resolved the blood calamity for this temple. Why not stay for a vegetarian meal before leaving?"

"The Zen Master is too courteous. We will taste it next time when convenient."

Fang Cheng got up and declined politely:

"Today we both specially took leave to come, will visit again another day."

Seeing Fang Cheng’s firm attitude, Master Huiming no longer insisted on keeping them, personally escorting them along the bamboo path out of Jingxin Residence.

Passing through the towering ancient trees of the back mountain and the bustling front hall, Fang Cheng and Cheng Jiashu walked out of Gufeng Temple’s mountain gate.

A refreshing mountain breeze stirred, rustling the leaves.

Cheng Jiashu inserted both hands into his trousers pockets, turned his head towards Fang Cheng:

"I’m going to Golden City Resort later; do you want to come with me? Your childhood friend is there for training."

Fang Cheng shook his head and replied:

"Things have been busy lately; I will personally make time to visit her in a few days."

"Alright then, the Immortal is busy cultivating; I won’t interfere."

Cheng Jiashu knew he was thinking about the cultivation technique just imparted by Master Huiming, so he waved his hand and went down the stone steps first.

Fang Cheng stood before the mountain gate for a moment, gazing at the rolling green mountains in the distance, then also started moving, following slowly but steadily.
