Chapter 187 Perfect Martial Arts System
After suffering serious injuries in the fierce battle with Huiyuan, Huineng's body was like a tree baptized by a storm. Although it was covered with scars, he quickly recovered thanks to the precious black jade ointment in the Yaowang Temple of Bailin Temple.
However, having just recovered from a serious illness, he knew that he still needed time to recuperate, so he temporarily gave up the idea of going to the waterfall group in the back mountain to continue practicing "Explosive Flow Mysterious Body Technique".
During these few days, Huineng reflected on his gains and losses in the battle with Huiyuan.
In that brief but fierce battle with Huiyuan, he almost exhausted all his knowledge, exposing the lack of his own martial arts reserves.
This made Huineng deeply aware of his serious shortcomings in his means of attack.
He understood that a truly strong man should be like the sea that embraces all rivers and should master a variety of martial arts in order to cope with the ever-changing battle situations.
Then, a strong idea emerged in Huineng's mind - he longed to make a breakthrough in martial arts, so that he would no longer have to rely on a limited number of moves when facing a strong enemy like Huiyuan.
This desire quickly sprouted in his heart like a bud breaking through the soil in spring.
The early morning sunlight penetrates the clouds like a thin thread and gently sprinkles on the golden roof of Bailin Temple. The golden light and the ancient architecture complement each other, making it look particularly solemn and sacred.
Bailin Temple, this ancient temple, is now immersed in tranquility and peace.
Ancient trees are towering, bell sounds are melodious, and even the air is filled with a hint of Zen.
Huineng stood at the gate of the Sutra Library, his heart filled with desire for martial arts.
Early in the morning, when he was about to step over the threshold and enter the holy land where countless martial arts secrets were hidden, a familiar figure quietly appeared beside him.
Huineng turned around and saw that it was King Liehai.
"Amitabha, I pay my respects to King Liehai!" Huineng quickly put his hands together and saluted, but he couldn't help feeling a little confused, wondering why King Liehai appeared at this moment.
King Liehai smiled, put his hands together and returned the greeting, then slowly said: "Amitabha, Hui Neng, do you know why I came here today?"
Hui Neng was somewhat confused by what King Liehai said, and could only shake his head to express his confusion: "I am stupid and don't know. Please tell me clearly, King Liehai."
Upon seeing this, King Liehai smiled gently, raised his hand, and motioned Huineng to go with him.
The two of them walked over the threshold of the Sutra Library side by side and stepped onto the stairs leading to the upper level.
As he walked away, King Liehai said, "Hui Neng, I came here today especially for you."
When Huineng heard this, he could not help showing surprise on his face, thinking to himself: "You came here just for me?
Could it be that King Lie Hai came here specifically to help me choose a technique?"
This sudden surprise made his heart beat faster.
At this time, King Liehai and Huineng had reached the fourth floor of the Sutra Repository.
Huineng spoke with a hint of expectation: "Are you here, King of the Sea, to teach me about my shortcomings in technique?"
King Liehai turned around, looked at Huineng with deep eyes, and said seriously: "That's right!
After careful consideration recently, I have tailored a martial arts system specifically for you.
Now, follow me."
Huineng's mood became excited instantly, but he tried hard to restrain himself and stay calm.
The two came to a bookshelf, and King Liehai continued: "Based on my observation, I found that although the system of Chinese ancient martial arts is profound, it is not suitable for you.
On the contrary, there is the Jeet Kune Do system of Mr. Bruce Lee, a legend in the Chinese martial arts world.
Its martial arts philosophy of treating the absence of rules as rules and the infinity as finite, and its emphasis on actual combat, are more in line with you. "
As he spoke, Lie Hai Wang reached out and pulled out a book from the bookshelf, which was "Jeet Kune Do".
He placed the book gently in Huineng's trembling hands.
[Popular Science: According to some information, Bruce Lee was unable to complete the final draft and publication of "Jeet Kune Do" during his lifetime due to personal reasons (such as back injuries) and external factors (such as film work). The final draft and publication of "The Way of Jeet Kune Do" was completed with the help of Bruce Lee's assistant coach Elosando and other senior disciples.]
At this time, although Huineng was extremely excited, he also had a hint of doubt in his heart.
He had never expected that King Lie Hai would recommend to him a martial art other than the Bailin Temple's own, but Mr. Bruce Lee's "Jeet Kune Do".
King Liehai seemed to read Huineng's confusion from his subtle expression, smiled gently, and said: "Huineng, are you confused?
Why do you want to learn other people's martial arts instead of the advanced martial arts of your own sect when you are in Bailin Temple? "
Upon hearing this, Huineng nodded quickly, his bald head looking like a chick pecking at rice.
Seeing this, Lie Hai Wang smiled even more, “In fact, I asked you to learn Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do for two reasons.
First, the "Bakuryu Gentaijutsu" you learned is quite consistent with Mr. Bruce Lee's "Jeet Kune Do" in terms of martial arts philosophy, both of which emphasize fluency and agility.
Secondly, I am not asking you to copy Bruce Lee's fighting techniques completely, but I hope you can understand the core of Jeet Kune Do - the 'philosophy of water'.
This is a state of mind, a kind of martial arts wisdom that adapts to the situation and is pervasive.
My goal is to let you use the "philosophy of water" as the cornerstone and regard the Sutra Library as a melting pot of martial arts.
Here, you can absorb the essence of various martial arts, integrate them, and eventually form your own unique martial arts system."
King Liehai's words painted a grand blueprint for martial arts for Huineng. The ingenuity of the conception and the breadth of vision were breathtaking.
Huineng was fascinated by what he heard, as if he was in a vast ocean of martial arts, with magnificent martial arts pictures unfolding before his eyes.
He knew very well that the martial arts path planned for him by King Lie Hai was full of difficulties but also full of infinite possibilities.
It was enough to allow him to embark on the journey to the pinnacle of martial arts that he had always dreamed of.
It has to be said that the martial arts system that King Lie Hai built for Huineng is really close to perfect and has almost unlimited possibilities.
After a while, when Huineng came out of his wonderful reverie, the problem also emerged.
“Sea King, there are tens of thousands of martial arts secrets in the Sutra Library. Even if I spend my entire life, I am afraid I will not be able to study all of them.
So, is this idea too idealistic? "
Upon hearing this, King Lie Hai laughed out loud, then turned around and left.
Huineng was a little confused about King Liehai's sudden departure. At this moment, King Liehai's voice came from a distance.
"It's up to you to grasp the right balance. The subtlety of taking and giving up is reflected in this!"
The last words left by King Liehai echoed silently in Huineng's heart, "Take and give up, take and give up..."
