Chapter 171 8 Arhat Formation
When Huineng ran over, he saw Huijing taking out a package from her arms, and then he untied a rope from his belt.
Huijing made a noose on one end of the rope, then threw the other end of the rope over the branch above her head, then placed the noose on the ground, and finally opened the package and placed it in the center of the noose.
“Brother Huineng, you are very strong, and when the big yellow dog comes later, he will eat this dog food.
You have to wait until it is completely trapped before you pull the rope, do you understand?" Huijing said, handing one end of the rope to Huineng.
"Let me pull it?" Huineng took the rope, obviously a little surprised that his senior brother let him play the main role.
"Of course you pull it! I'm too weak to pull it.
Junior Brother Huineng, what are you still standing there for? Come with me and hide behind the tree."
Then, both of them hid behind the tree.
"Brother Huineng, start barking like a dog now."
"Brother Huijing, why do you want me to learn to bark like a dog?"
“Brother Huineng, I learned to bark like a dog in order to attract the big yellow dog.
We have always been like this: you learn from the dog and I learn from the cat.
You're better at imitating dogs, and you'd better make your voice higher and higher, so it sounds more like a female dog in heat!"
When Huineng heard this, he thought it made sense and nodded immediately: "Brother Huijing is absolutely right. I will learn to bark like a dog right away!"
"Wang! Wang Wang!"
"Ugh~ Ugh~"
"Wang Wang!"
After a while, two green lights appeared in the grass in the distance, jumping up and down, appearing extremely excited.
Huineng, who was hiding behind a tree, said to Huijing beside him: "Brother Huijing, you really got it right. Look, that silly dog is running towards us excitedly!"
Huijing's mouth curled up slightly, "Of course, if a female dog takes the initiative to look for a male dog to play poker, as long as it is a male dog, it will definitely come over."
"Brother Huijing, look at that big yellow dog. Just as you expected, it has stepped step by step into the 'bait' we set!" Although Huineng's voice was deliberately lowered, he could not hide the excitement flashing in his eyes.
When Huijing heard this, a faint but confident smile appeared on her lips, and her eyes were deep, as if she could see through the mysteries of all things in the world.
"Junior brother, although I am not a wise man, this kind of trick will not be difficult for me." He spoke softly, revealing a calm demeanor in his words.
"But keep calm now. Wait until the stupid dog is completely inside the rope loop before you pull the rope."
The big yellow dog was completely selfless at this moment, with its longing eyes fixed on the "delicious food" on the ground, completely ignoring the dangers lurking around it.
It moved closer and closer until it stepped into a trap that looked harmless but was actually fraught with danger.
As the noose suddenly tightened, the big yellow dog suddenly woke up, a look of fear instantly filled its face, and its shrill barking broke the tranquility of the forest.
Upon seeing this, Huineng gripped the rope tightly with both hands and shook his wrist. A force was instantly transmitted, and the big yellow dog struggled more violently, but the noose was like an iron hoop, getting tighter and tighter.
Huijing took the opportunity to flash out from behind a hidden tree, jumped up with agility, held the big yellow dog's abdomen firmly with both hands, and pulled it down hard.
With the combined efforts of the two, the big yellow dog was finally exhausted, its head drooped, and it only had its last breath.
Huijing took out a sharp knife from his arms. The blade gleamed coldly under the cold moon. He moved swiftly and skillfully. With a light wipe, the life fire of the big yellow dog was quietly extinguished.
Then he looked at Huineng and said, "Brother, you are very strong, so I will leave the task of skinning to you."
Upon hearing this, Huineng took the knife without any hesitation, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
His hands flew, and the knife flashed like a weaving net. In a moment, the fur that originally covered the big yellow dog was completely peeled off, revealing the blood-red skin underneath.
Huineng let out a sigh of relief and was about to throw the dog skin off the cliff, but was stopped in time by Huijing.
"Junior brother, wait a minute!" Huijing's tone left no room for doubt.
Huineng was stunned and looked at his senior brother in confusion, but Huijing smiled and explained, "This dog skin has its own use. Take it back to the temple and hide it well, maybe it will come in handy.
Well, it’s getting late, we should set off.”
Huineng nodded, without asking any more questions, he carried the slightly tired Huijing on his back, held the heavy load of dog meat in one hand and tightly grasped the dog skin in the other, and galloped towards Bailing Temple on the top of the mountain.
The mountain road was rugged and the return was uphill, but Huineng walked on it as if it were flat ground, without slowing down his speed at all.
"Brother Huineng, with your strong body, it would be a waste of your talent to be in the utility room.
You belong to Luohan Hall!
Why don’t you go to the host and apply to join?” Hui Jing asked on Huineng’s galloping back, with a hint of urgency in her voice.
Upon hearing this, Huineng slowed down his pace, thought for a moment and then replied: "Brother, it is not that I don't want to, but the abbot thinks that I still have some bad temper, so I need to practice meditation in the utility room to sharpen my character.
When my mind becomes clear, that will be the day I enter the Arhat Hall and become a martial monk."
"But by the time you really calm down, I'm afraid the opportunity will be gone!" Huijing couldn't help but interrupt.
Huineng heard the deep meaning in his brother's words, and his heart moved. He quickly asked: "Brother Huijing, do you know of any special way to directly enter the Arhat Hall and become a martial monk without the consent of the abbot?"
Huijing's laughter sounded behind Huineng, with a hint of pride and mystery: "Hehe, it seems that you are quite smart.
Well, since you want to know so much, I will tell you the secret. "
"Hurry up and tell me, brother!" Huineng urged anxiously, his heart full of anticipation.
Hui Jing cleared her throat and continued, “If you want to obtain the qualification of a monk in Luohan Hall without the approval of the abbot, there is indeed an unconventional way - that is to challenge the Luohan formation of Luohan Hall.
If you can successfully break the formation, you will be recognized by the Luohan Hall and become a warrior monk directly."
"Brother Huijing, what is this Arhat Formation?"
Huijing seemed a little helpless, but still began his explanation: “What a hassle, I have to be the explainer again.
In the martial arts system of Bailin Temple, the "Eighteen Arhats Formation" as a unique formation has always been talked about by martial arts enthusiasts.
The Arhat Formation, as the name suggests, is created by imitating the postures and formations of Arhats when practicing or fighting. It cleverly integrates individual martial arts into collective coordination to form a powerful fighting force.
As the name suggests, the Eighteen Arhats formation is composed of eighteen strictly selected and trained monks who possess superb martial arts and tacit cooperation ability.
In battle, the monks surrounded the enemy through tacit cooperation and exquisite movements, making it difficult for them to break through.
The monks cooperated with each other to launch a continuous offensive, making it difficult for the enemy to cope.
Their uniform movements and powerful momentum are enough to make many masters feel fear before the battle.
This formation can exert strong combat effectiveness whether fighting alone or in a group. "
After listening to Brother Huijing's detailed explanation, Huineng's eyes sparkled with curiosity and desire. He asked a key question: "So Brother Huijing, in the long history of Bailin Temple, has anyone been able to successfully challenge and break the Eighteen Arhats before becoming a martial monk?"
Huijing paused for a moment, apparently recalling that glorious history, and then he answered firmly: "There is indeed one person, and this person is not Chinese.
That was more than fifty years ago. As a menial disciple, he successfully broke the Eighteen Arhats Formation with his extraordinary strength and wisdom. This feat left an indelible mark in the history of Bailin Temple.
His name is--Dorian!"
When Huineng heard this, a look of shock and yearning flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to imagine the magnificent scene of the strong man named Dorian, shuttling like lightning in the Arhat formation and fighting against many monks on his own.
"Dorian..." Huineng repeated the name in a low voice, and swore to himself, "I want to become a strong man like him, break the Eighteen Arhats formation, and prove my strength!"
Huijing seemed to sense Huineng's excitement and determination. He patted Huineng on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Brother, if you have a dream, go after it."
